**Spicy Gongura Paneer | How to make Gongura Paneer Curry**- Usually, when we think of Paneer, we think Punjabi recipes. But not this one. It is a spicy, sour Curry that goes very well with Rotis.
The idea for this recipe was born during wedding meals. I was once served Gongura Pickle, a regular favourite for Andhras, and some Paneer Kurma. I finished the Gravy in the Kurma and had some Paneer cubes left on my plate.
Then, I just added those Cubes to the classic combination of Gongura and hot rice and found that it tasted amazing. So, I worked a little bit on this novel combination and found that people really loved the taste. And that is how I shot the recipe and posted it. Just check it out!
